Amsterdam UMC is offering a PhD position in spatial proteomics focused on frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The project aims to uncover the molecular and cellular causes of FTD that drive disease onset and early progression, with the long-term goal of supporting evidence-based treatment design. In this PhD project, you will design and execute proteomics studies using human postmortem brain tissue from sporadic FTD patients and human iPSC-derived neurons. The research combines highly innovative sing...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton on metabolic health , GLP-1 receptor agonists , and pancreas–bone crosstalk . This project asks whether bone density loss seen in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is caused by the medication itself or by weight loss and reduced skeletal loading. It also investigates possible pancreatic effects of long-term exposure, especially in people with excess pancreatic fat. You will work with micro-CT imaging of patient pancreatic tissue, human stem-ce...

About this position

Amsterdam UMC and TU Delft are recruiting for a joint, multidisciplinary project in biomedical engineering, musculoskeletal modeling, biomechanics, and cerebral palsy.

Openings: one Postdoctoral researcher and one PhD student.

Postdoc project: develop personalized musculoskeletal foot and ankle models based on WBCT and gait analysis data. The goal is to estimate joint loads before and after treatment, and to study how these loads change with growth.

PhD project: develop statistical shape models and finite element models of the growing foot to investigate normal bone development and how this process is altered in children with cerebral palsy, with the aim of informing better treatment strategies.

Research environment: Amsterdam UMC, in collaboration with TU Delft, with supervision involving Marjolein van der Krogt, Ajay Seth, Nazli Tumer, and Annemieke Buizer.

Eligibility highlights: the post indicates a multidisciplinary profile suited to candidates with interest or experience in musculoskeletal modeling, gait analysis, finite element modeling, statistical shape modeling, and pediatric rehabilitation. No explicit deadline, funding amount, or formal entry requirements are stated in the provided text.

How to apply: use the vacancy links provided in the post to access the official application pages for the postdoc and PhD positions. Follow the instructions on the career pages and submit the required materials through the relevant portal.

Funding details

The post announces paid academic openings for one Postdoctoral researcher and one PhD student in a joint project between Amsterdam UMC and TU Delft. No stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other financial details are stated in the provided text.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in multidisciplinary research at the interface of biomechanics, musculoskeletal modeling, gait analysis, and clinical rehabilitation. The postdoc role is suited to candidates with experience in personalized musculoskeletal modeling, WBCT-based analysis, and gait data interpretation. The PhD role is suited to candidates with interest in statistical shape modeling, finite element modeling, bone development, and cerebral palsy. The post indicates a joint project between Amsterdam UMC and TU Delft; no specific degree, GPA, or language-test requirements are stated in the provided text.
